Those dragons were sure breathing fire after drinking that water .
The more sweaty people you have in the room the more water you generate
08:10🤣
The water tastes bad because it's sucking Barry's sweat straight out of the air
That's actually true lmao
Crying 😂
ewww wtf dude :D
😂
I just went down to the comments to write that! You beat me to it!!
Plot twist: His forehead is actually the machine that makes water out of air
Holy hell. 😂 ded
Underrated comment lmao
Bloody well done. Keen observation there, mate. 😂😂😂
😂🤣💯
That's why it tasted revolting.
It's a dehumidifier. It probably tasted weird because Barry's brow sweat was being condensated inside the machine
It's a new machine, pretty good chance it's just disinfectant from the filters supposed to stop disease. Not nice stuff to drink, but I think likely nicer than after the machine is a few weeks old when the disinfectant is all washed off the filters and bacteria start growing on it because that happens to all dehumidifiers.
@scragar Are you Barry?
@@xinx666 yup that’s him
@@scragar you forgot the /s
Not only that demineralised water is not good to drink. Pure water is not considered drinkablr
Number one rule of a pyramid scheme/multi-level marketing (MLM) is to never admit that it's a pyramid scheme/MLM.
You have to say it’s “direct sales”
Amway is an example
@@RandyTheManiac He called it that too.
I can't believe he actually said the word PYRAMID, imagine being this daft
He actually presented pyramid selling as benefit = clueless
Exactly!
I can't believe you said the word daft. Imagine being this British.
He meant reverse funnel system obviously. Totally not a scam.
Thomas Stuart and what’s the problem with being British then ?
HIs forehead made more water than his machine.
LOL!
Loool
😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Mark S even before I saw this I laughed, I knew this was gonna be a good video 😂
Barry’s taken the “1% inspiration 99% perspiration” motto a bit too literally 😓 😓😓
This is a 'Gold Standard' comment sir!
james is actually trying to make paul realize that he's being used by barry 😭 but paul doesn't get it and getting defensive instead
Yep
Exactly
A bit 'wet' behind the ears then?
He got no choice now, 150k to lose.
Poor old Paul has been brain washed by Barry. Then Barry picked his pocket for $150,000 without himl knowing it. What an entertaining episode. LOL!
What I expected at some point : "Of course it tastes terrible, we poisoned it, now the antidote is £1M per person, you have 5 minutes to decide."
Sounds like some kinda trap from the SAW flicks
That's a genius product. I'd invest.
I can’t believe I’m saying this about such a terrible idea, but I would invest.
And how exactly would they get away with that Ethan Campbell? They're being recorded with clear video evidence of it. Obviously you're joking but even a joke has to make some kind of sense.
@@RaniaIsAwesome Uh why does a joke need to make sense?
The Pyramid scheme isn't the worst aspect of this. Bad science.
I mean, what they're talking about can work... it's just way less efficient than what we already have. A square wheel can still turn.
@@jackblack3718 put 4 square wheels on a car and see if that's true...
@@Fireglo Depending on the design of the wheels, it can still move. Just very, very slowly.
@@jackblack3718 you mean depending on how rounded they are?
@@Fireglo Pretty much.
8:14 Barry's facial expression after saying that absolute gem says everything about his character; a shameless salesman who loves the sound of his own voice.
Pure David Brent moment
💀
Proper banter moment
Absolute plank
The confident and coy facial expression followed by the cut to James Kahn absolute top tier comedy
When Deborah said “it’s a pyramid scheme” Barry just smiled and nodded 😂🤦🏻♀️
"...and this is our water." Holds up a glass of piss.

Narrator: "The dragons are enraged and furious"
The dragons: moderately annoyed
@dylan foley Pretty much, I avoid reality TV for this reason. I don't have much experience with non-American reality TV though, for all I know it's just reality shows in general.
@dylan foley I think that it was a joke a quite entertaining one, yes I live in Britain, not that I should be anything to enjoy the joke, just in case you think that matters.
@dylan foley yeah American tv shows are reality TV show pumped up on obscene amounts of cocaine and hyperbole.
They were British enraged and furious.
In Britain moderately annoyed and ‘enraged and furious’ are the same thing
I had a Kirby salesman come to my home and I foolishly let him in. He started off flattering me, my home, rtc and then became heavy-handed. I asked him to leave and he became worse, insulting my home's cleanliness, acting like he was a victim, etc. I stood up for myselfcand got him out. I hated it!
Good golly Miss Molly! You go girl! 😉

@@farkyocouch8072i second that.
I just looked up the company. It seems that they have pivoted from a water dispenser to a dehumidifier and an air purifier.
Barbara: "I'm not even in this show. And for that reason, I'm out."
That’s older than Barb...
This killed me
Lori's ass
This joke is so underrated I don't even know how to go about telling my friends
Got em
I was baffled when he said "Multi level pyramid direct marketing" with such confidence.
And called it classic as well
"good, old fashioned scamming people and pissing off with their money" is what I heard haha
What I love is that he literally recited every iteration of that scam marketing all at once (pyramid scheme, MLM and direct selling)
What actually is a pyramid scheme? I read it is where the person at the top of the pyramid recruits someone to recruit other people and so on. People get a commission for everyone they recruit. Is that how it works or am I wrong?
@@fightforfreedom5292 yeah and that’s why this model ultimately falls apart. You see, people usually make money through selling products and get profits from it, not by people below feeding them money. Those unqualified people don’t have knowledge to sell things, and can only hope to recruit more people so they can get money from it. Once people don’t join your scam anymore, it start to break from the bottom up. The lower tiers suffer the most and have the most amount of people.
6:12 The part that I find golden isn’t him admitting to “good ol’ pyramid multilevel direct marketing” but the guys exasperate reaction to it immediately afterwards
Everything about this clip is wild. The confidence with which Barry outs himself to the wild and elaborate excuses for the taste of the water.
“It’s good old fashioned pyramid multi level marketing”
He thought he had killed them
Oh my god, I thought this was sarcasm until I actually got to that part.
Nothin like a good ole fashioned scam straight from the depths of hell, thems were the days son, tie up muh pony at the trough and leave with a stallion to the ghost town over
Take out the word “good” and that statement becomes the savage criticism it aught it be.
I thought one of the Dragons said this, can't believe buddy used it in his pitch! What a moron!
"It's not a pyramid scheme it's a triangle of opportunity."
"No its a Toblerone of capitalism"
Underrated comment 😂
It's a Doritos plan

That bead of sweat coming down the side of his head caught in close up had me rolling 😂
Don’t ever use the word “pyramid” in a pitch
Unless you're trying to sell actual pyramids. lol
Good old fashioned multi level marketing, pymarid scheme.... i couldnt believe me ears

Unleash the POWER of the pyramid!
James' reaction was priceless
Imagine Barry selling door to door in Syria
The heat will make him a living waterfall.
😂
😂 winning comment 😂
Haha.
Shut your mouth Syria have water you silly clown
The Brent comparison is undeniable.
Barry lost 10 pounds of sweat during this pitch so it wasn't a total loss.
Went from "Icecold" 2:31 to "because its warm, that's why" 9:29
I once had an ice cube company which was doing really well. We went into liquidation in the summer. Wasn't cool.
genius
Ok dad
That joke looked promising. Then I read your punchline.
ok boomer
Keep up the meditating.
This is basically a guy who drank the water out of a dehumidifier and thought why isn't everyone doing this
Precisely lmao
Exactly wtf!!!!!!!!!
Brill!😂
Nailed it.
I did that once. Tasted how the room smelt. 🤮
Basically.... you're drinking the waste from a dehumidifier including Barry's sweat 🤣
8:16 Barry trying to hype himself up and then getting completely denied by James is the funniest thing to ever come by out of this show
Yo stop dissing , my man got distribution rights in Syria and Iran

@@SebAnders lmao
@@SebAnders Don't forget the innocent men women and children being murdered on a daily basis.
“Good ol’ pyramid multi-level direct marketing”
Tried and true 🤣
He actually said that!!! Unbelievable!
It seems to me that these two sales clowns are actually selling people into their pyramid scheme and not their water dehumidifier machine it's self.
The fact he admitted it.
its just commission on sale.. he said he doesn't have to spend money on advertising and marketing because he only will pay a portion of the profit to the people that knock on doors. Is there something Im missing? For example even Venmo a billion dollar company uses the same technique, invite a new customer for $5.
Quick trick tip: notice during the electric test to show the differences in the waters, only one side was smoking when they took it out the of the cups. That side was the "dirty water." That smoke is coming from the coating they sprayed to make it seem dirty.
love how theo mentions his wife and kids every now and then 😊
This is why HD is a curse. I didn't need to see an overweight man in his 40's-50's sweating uncontrollably, while the camera pans closer.
Jenny felt that way as well so for that reason she is now out.
40s is a stretch
Hahaha
Definitely 50s
Ffs 😭
"Purest drinking water on the planet."
Been a while since med school, but I'd advise people away from drinking pure water.
Joel Hall Lol, completely agree. Demineralised water is really not good to drink.
People don't realize just how bad most "purified" water is.
@Joe Nicholson you're not meant to have water without minerals. It could possibly cause great harm to your intestines if you were to drink pure H2O
@Joe Nicholson Cells try to keep the concentration of disolved electrolytes balanced. by consuming deminteralised water, you mess up the balance, which the cells will try to restore be taking in more water (due to the cells "skin" being a semipermeable membrane). if the cells were to take in to much water they would burst, hence causing harm, mostly in the intestine. the danger of drinking demineralised water is often a bit overstatet though. the human body is fairly resilient, so as long as you dont drink large amounts of it or drink it very regularily nothing happens. a glas or two doesnt really hurt.
@@patrickhammer8147 And you can always add some unclean sea salt from unpolluted waters. If the stuff about high blood pressure was true, I'd have it. It's the table salt with anti-caking ingredient that gets you.
Barry and Paul being the forenames of the chuckle brothers...
It tastes terrible since it is distilled water. All the minerals that we are used to have been removed.
He just said “its good ol fashioned pyramid, multi-level marketing..” like those arent the exact descriptions of a scam...
Omfg i just read that as it was saying it by total hazard😅
Its not, have you ever worked for one? The people who call it a scam are the same as the women complaining on the show
Is that legal in the UK? Pretty sure pyramid schemes are illegal in most countries.
@@jakethesnake1503 yup only someone part of a pyramid scam would try to tell everyone with common sense it's not a scam lmao. News flash, it's been proven time and time again that they're fraudulent. You just sound ignorant
@@jakethesnake1503 The idea of sitting back and watching the money roll in (which demands as much work as starting any salescompany with enough salesmen and management to relieve you of your own effort), in combination with you having to usually pay to recieve training or some form of plus deal is what is dishonest. Why don't they just hire you as a salesman at their expanding company with an increasing demand? Because the product isnt good enough. If it was, getting hired by them would be a challange, not an idea sold to you. So they convince you to sell a product after actually buying it and if you succeed they make money and if you fail they make money. If you fail you loose money but can't file for bancrupcy.
It's as if i told you: Hey if you buy these piles of dirt from me, you could probably sell them for a bit more. And if you need advice I can give you guidence in exchange for more money.
Its a basic salesposition with less security and usually a lot more manipulative hiring adds.
There is only 1 Rule:
If a salesman sweats like a pig while trying to sell you something, he ain't Kosher.
whats kosher
@@fraist1 It means your food has been blessed and approved by a rabbit.
@@zackcolbourne6921 I don't know if you meant to purposely say "rabbit" or not. Either way it made me laugh alot. Thank you 🙏
@@cobblestonegenerator are you 10
@@fraist1 I should ask you the same question, considering you don't know what kosher is.
"don't forget not to tell them it's a pyramid scheme!"
"come on, how could I forget that!"
10:00
I am shocked yet unsurprised that their defense is to say it needs "flushing" time. That means there's HEAVY factory fouling present, which means that it is NOT safe to sell. If I'd just drank that water I'd be concerned and likely demand to know what pollutants I'd just imbibed.

@Owen Yin Plastic production is the lesser of two evils, we used to dump the oil byproducts into the ocean before turning it into plastic.
@@bencastor9207 And ironically, it still ended in the ocean lol
Two things really stood out for me: What on earth did they spend £200,000 on so far? And, it's not a pyramid scheme. They were not selling it to people to recruit people to sell it to: they wanted to sell it directly. So they couldn't even get that part right!
Did you miss the part of the video where they openly admit that their advertising model is to "recruit" people solely on commission to sell it on?
@@user-mv5zt8qd9l I certainly did
He mentioned commissions based on sales
James doesn't say much but his facial expressions are legendary in this episode. So damn good
“You are talking about a pyramid selling scheme”
*nods head enthusiastically*
Hey, atleast he was honest about it...
He was quite proud of it being a "good old fashioned pyramid scheme."
Talk about talking yourself out of a sale...
Why wouldn't he?
AJ Batsche what’s wrong with pyramid business selling scheme ?
Barry is one of those slimey sales guys that just sells sells sells and does not give a crap if its right for the customer, wonder how many pensioners he has ripped off in his life?
@Gemma Saint Yup, had experience of Kirkby a few times. When I was a kid - the same xp - they just wouldn't leave. They did the old call to the boss thing too for a super special offer. Asked for recommendations of people they could then pester as they left. Then when I was an adult, I got a random call that I'd won a prize and they wanted to send around someone with my vouchers. I said 'It's Kirkby hoovers, isn't it? Don't bother. We have wood floors. She insisted. You should have seen the young lad's face when he turned up. I invited him anyway, gave him a drink (it was a hot day) and asked him about the job. He said it was the best he'd ever had (he was about 18), but he was driving his own car (no expenses), it was all commission only and all the same techniques as before." Scammers.
@@XiagraBalls If they at least sold a useful product it would be another thing, but it usually ends up just sitting there gathering dust, as its a niche use, or worse, not working at all, all the while costing several hundred dollars, if not more. The only difference between them and phone scammers, is that the phone scammers don't leave behind a product. Vultures, the lot of them.
"If a person falls into a scam, he deserved to be scammed. Only the strong will prevail"
He sure talked as fast as a slimey sales guy. I hate those people who call and bombard you with chatter before you even have had the chance to say hello.

"Good old fashioned pyramid scheme, multi-level, strategy" - You said the quiet part out loud.
I know, my jaw dropped when he said that so boldly 😂 anyway I'm happy enough with the tap water I get where I live lol
Buhahaha, precisely. 😆😆
@@teethgrinder83 It’s pretty hilarious. They want to sell this in the UK? A place where if you really don’t like the taste of the tap water you just get a filter like a normal person?
Madness.
This pitch reminds me of the King of Queens episode where Doug’s neighbors make him invest in a pyramid scheme where he has to sell water filtration machine liscenses to all his friends so they can sell the liscenses. He loses all his invested $ obviously lol
If this was behind closed doors then I don't think any "entrepreneur" would hesitate to say that out loud to investors, for the simple yet sad reason that MLM/pyramid schemes are still successful in this day and age. But yeah it's dumb to say it on TV lol.
The reason it tastes weird is likely because it's basically distilled water. There's no ions in it or not in the concentrations that we're used to when drinking from the tap. Also drinking distilled water is NOT good for you!
Barry needs his own salesman comedy show
“And a million in hard work” could’ve sworn he turned into David Brent.
Exactly what i thought when he said it
Mate I had the exact same thought haha
I couldn’t stand being in the same room as that guy.
The way he smiled whilst looking at the camera after delivering the line reminded me of someone, I couldn't put my finger on who..
Until this comment 😂😂
It was a superb impression indeed !
I can't believe he actually said pyriamd, multi level selling, jesus. I'd avoid these fellas like the plague
I understood what he was saying, but that was a real poor choice of words. Best not to say 'pyramid' 'multi level' and 'scheme' when pitching to professional business people
Yeah, he used terrible words. It's not actually a multi-level or a pyramid scheme, it's just direct sales.
There's nothing wrong with MLM if the retail part of the business works and makes people money. I've even seen James Kahn happily speaking at an MLM conference when Duncan Bannatyne pulled out last minute. It's just that pressurised doorstep sales aren't really the done thing anymore. Decent product, terrible business.
Ye, I worked for such companies selling door-to-door 10 or so years ago. They do not pay you minimum wage, you work on commission, they drop you somwhere in cold and you walk around neighbourhoods for 12 hours annoying people. The worst job I've done in my life.
@@ZygimantasA I did it too and made about a tenner
If it takes a day and a half to be functional, then why didn't they unpack that thing a day and a half ago? They knew damn well where they were going to be, in front of millions of people, and even if what they say is true, why wouldn't you have prepared for the "moment"? This is a serious lesson for anyone about being prepared.
Excuses. It's a scam.
8:17 You can tell he came up with that earlier and thought "Wow what an epic line, they'll love it"
“Ok here’s the pitch, it’s a good old fashioned pyramid selling scheme”
“I’m out”
You know this guy's on a different level when he can straight face say that like it's a good thing.
@@silvianbruno7512 Probably because those types of schemes do end up making money for the ground floor. Barry assumed the Dragons would compromise their names for money.
@@Crunchy_Punch he said all the three words that are associated with a pyramid scheme “a pyramid multi level direct marketing.” all the three names seamlessly like it was one word.i wonder where and how Barry got the other “mil” he’s claimed he has “in hardwork”
@@musawirmd6289 He probably used the pyramid scheme probably for multiple times. And his hard work is basically talking people down into buying his stuff. The problem is that such a system doesn't work on people that can keep their sanity.
“Like a dehumidifier”
Actually it really is just a dehumidifier.

"Runs through a condensing unit like a dehumidifier"
It is a dehumidifier. It produces undrinkable water that requires purification to be potable and is dependant on high humidity to work. In places it works, it costs more than municipal water supplies, in places with low humidity, it produces next to no water. The machine itself is a fraud.
Exactly. There's no way that machine running indoors for an hour would have condensed enough for four glasses of water.
The electrode "test" is also a scam. It doesn't test anything, it just dissolves the rods into the water.
Exactly! The water was preloaded, these DON'T WORK
@@joelbadger9661 Well, they do work. I use a dehumidifier in my basement and it produces a constant trickle of water down my drain. They just don't work as advertised for creating potable water especially in places that would need the highly inefficient and expensive water.
@@joelbadger9661 Nope. No need to preload any water. This is simple chemistry. One rod is steel, another is aluminium. As you pass a strong current through the rods, they undergo a process called galvanic corrosion. The discoloration is essentially rust in the water. This is a fraudulent "trick" commonly used by water filter salesmen to convince people that their water is bad when it is in fact perfectly fine.
8:20 him not wanting to disclose how much money he has got on TV is perfectly understandable
i think peter was just asking to get the point across of them needing the dragon's money was unnecessary if they have enough of their own, which they do if they've already invested 200k of their own money into it
9:50 part of me always hears "my kids' inheritance would throw that back at you"
The fact that a sweating Barry won’t even cool himself with a glass of he’s own water speaks volumes.

It's a simple dehumidifier that you can get cheaply anywhere, which is an inefficient way to produce water, promoted through a typical electrode scam trick, sold through a pyramid scheme. Oh, yes, and the distilled water that is being produced tastes terribly and is pretty bad for you.
And, you don't need your whole filtration system. It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore.
I'm somewhat surprised that there wasn't a stronger reaction from the dragons. This is the equivalent of a Nigerian prince and all they respond to is the pyramid scheme aspect. It was far worse than just that.

"It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore."
Haven't you noticed that all dehumidifiers clearly instruct you *not to drink* the water they produce? There's a reason for that. It's not safe. Rainwater isn't safe either. *Condensed water isn't safe.*
Ironically, this product is one of the better 'water from air' devices (which are all, make no mistake, effectively scams) since it actually does include a filtration system. From what I can gather from their pitch, the water is held under UV-C light which will immediately kill any bacteria meaning the water it outputs will be perfectly safe.
Please don't comment on things you don't know about.

@@benbaert2166 "Regular cleaning of the tank minimizes this problem, but I would say that unless you are planning to drink the water that has just dripped into a freshly cleaned tank, don’t do it." Thats from the article that you linked, they also say in that article that the water in a dehumidifier is demineralised and that is safe to drink. This is not actually true, and i actually found an official journal on it from WHO. Those same guys that we listen to in pandemic situations, like the one we are in right now. www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/nutrientschap12.pdf
@@ccaagg condensed water isnt imbued with any magical properties, there is no condensed water element or molecule. The issue with condensed water from a dehumidifier is that the container hasn't been built to store or disperse potable water.
Pleas explain your understanding of UV-c light in terms of PAR, saturation and exposure time
I hate scam artists, I like seeing them get exposed and embarrassed. I like your break down too.
It's like watching a building collapsing in slow-motion.
